I find myself using the Convoy M1 more then any other light, but are there any that you find are the most versatile or best combination of features for your needs?
Over time do you keep using the same light the most or does your choice(s ) change over time?
Also how often do you use a flashlight, daily, weekly, monthly, for a few minutes a week, hours a day?
My L2N, followed by the BTU
most used lately is my ea4w.
i find it changes when i get a new light. i think now that i actually have 26650s and not just one 26650 to 18650 adapter to share between my mag mod and the BLF A8, i will be using the A8 a lot more now
Hi,
Good question.
I think that I use my ITP A3 EOS the most.
It’s my EDC nowadays, but I also often use it in the house, when I have to look for stuff and don’t want to turn the light on in a room or an area.
At home, it sits just under my monitor. I actually keep an Illumina Ti, an SC52, and a D25A Ti (that I just got) there, but it seems like when I need to grab a light, I always seem to go for the ITP A3.
The Illumina Ti is such a pain to turn on some times (pretty, but it’s TI, after all), and the SC52 and D25A are way too much light sometimes.
Thanks for asking.
Jim
I use my p60 lights the most. Either the l2t or the l2m in mini mode. Usually with a nichia drop-in.
I also use my fenix ld01 a lot just because it is the one I always have on me. Will be changing that out to a nichia soon, or maybe xml-2.
My EDC , a XIAOZHI NW XML clipped to my left front pocket .
My Trustfire F-15 NW XML OP reflector with a custom 5 mode driver ( courtesy of E1320 
) affixed to the handlebar of my Bianchi Lynx MTB .
A 1-mode ITP A3 EOS for stealth EDC . ( The XIAOZHI or my Balder SE-1 NW XML are too big to carry to some functions )
My ITP HO1 headlamp goes everywhere in case I need hands-free lighting .
All of my other lights are just back-ups and a place to store back-up batteries .
An Olight i2 EOS. I must use it 20 times a day at least. Mainly in the morning and at night when I maneuver around the house, load the truck for work, and try not to trip on a cat who thinks it’s funny to randomly plop down in front of you while you walk.
+1 Now that I have my clip mounted it's on me 98% of the time. Good modes, good tint, good size to carry. The other night I pulled it out to illuminate my backyard full of deer (about 12 doe) and show my 8yr old daughter. My Tank E09 (on my keychain) could never have been enough light for that task.

I carry the LD01 but use my SRK every night for feline disposal dispersal activities.
Damn that thing is bright…at 1 meter makes my Light Meter Autorange to 200,000 scale haven’t really measured it yet…
I use my EDC UF2100 with E1320 3amp driver powering a XP-G2 R5 2B led, next are a tie between a custom 2 x 18650 mag with throwmaster reflector with XM-L led at 4A and my custom TN31 XM-L2 at 4.7A for long distance lighting.
@ Garry
The clip is a bit tricky but the payoff is sweet .
Seeowjuh .
XIAOZHI for me with 4 custom modes. Really low moonlight mode out of a 3.5 amp on high driver.
Even though I find myself carrying my old Akoray K-106 a lot, just can’t seem to let her go. :_(
My Zebralight SC52 powered by a Nightcore 14500. It's by far my favorite and most used edc. Small and very bright, it's perfect for my needs.
I used my Tank007 E09 every day, literally. For over a month straight. I also use a few other lights as well, but my true EDC was the E09. The size and very low low mode are the driving factors.
before that it was the MXDL 3W 16340 modded with an XM-L T6 3C at 1A. This was only one mode, so it did not get extensive dark room usage. Until the E09, I didn’t have a very low low.
Now I’m trying out my UF 602C mod host withe the Nichia 219. The tint is excellent but the driver I had on hand isn’t great (three mode H-M-L, starts on high, low is too bright).
When traveling, the Convoy M1 is in the laptop bag. Nice and bright, low is low enough (still have the E09 handy), and tailcap lockout for when it’s in the bag.
When the DQG18650 arrives, I hope for expect a serious EDC shake-up. One EDC light to rule them all? Depends on the lowest low mode; needs to be at least as low as the E09 before the DQG can truly displace it.
Tonight I take the recently modded BTU (XM-L2 U2 on copper, broken driver, one mode at 5A+) and the even more recently modded Small Sun ZY-T08 (mod to be revealed soon; hint I used this driver 
)
SK98 clone. Not worried getting banged in my pocket with coins , nail cutter and EDC knife.
I use a flashlight when everything around me is dark. 8)
my cngq d4 (convoy m1) and d5 (roche f8) builds, d5 is one of my work edc’s, has an xm-l 4c and two group 3.1a nanjg, d4 has a blf a8 driver and xm-l 4c, both extremely useful in their own right but the d5 will be getting one of the qlite drivers at some point.
Quark Mini AA Ti Limited Edition.
For me it's my Ti. My Nitecore EC1 is clipped to my pocket more than any other and sees some use but my Ti is on my neck lanyard every day and gets used the most due to sheer convenience. ;)
